Kenny Happy to Have Fixture Congestion!

03 August 2016

Dundalk will find out on Friday who they will play in the final qualifying round of the Champions League.

A 3-1 aggregate win over BATE Borisov sees them into Friday's draw where they could face Celtic if they manage to get past Astana in their third qualifying round match. The sides will resume level at one apiece on Wednesday night.

Even if Dundalk fail to make the group stages of the Champions League they're already guaranteed a place in the group stages of the Europa League.

It's going to mean a very busy schedule but manager, Stephen Kenny, says that's fine. "These are problems that we want," he said.

"It's just beyond our wildest dreams from when we took over three and a half years ago to go and qualify for the group stages (of the Europa League).

"We're in the fourth qualifying round of the Champions League, we've got to look at trying to get into the Champions League and that has to be our ambition now."
